Prettier Than Pretty [JongSang]

32

Yeosang woke up to a throbbing headache, his body still weak and the bright light that filled the room blinding him.

With some struggle, he opened his eyes and sat up in bed, scanning his environment. His eyes jumping around different parts of the room until he realized where he was.

Hongjoong and Seonghwa's guest room.

As if on cue, Hongjoong appeared at the door. "Good morning Yeo" he said with a warm smile on his face.

Yeosang groaned in reply

"Hungover? How's your head?" Hongjoong asked.

Then it started coming back to him, what happened last night.

"Shit."

It was no secret that Yeosang wasn't very fond of his job and especially his job, but getting fired was the last straw for him.

After arguing with his now ex-boss he felt like drowning his worries and anger in the best way he could possibly think of and headed to the nearest bar.

Seonghwa ended up taking him home after Yeosang called Hongjoong and started rambling about wanting to drop kick his boss.

Of course Seonghwa wasn't too happy about his younger brother getting drunk over getting fired so of course, Yeosang decided to turn to his internet best friend and crush, Choi Jongho.

"Anything happened?" Hongjoong asked worriedly.

Yeosang searched for his phone and found it on the bedside table. He unlocked his phone hurriedly and very quickly opened his Instagram DM's, his eyes scanning over his conversation with Jongho from the previous night. After reading all the messages he had sent, Yeosang put his phone down and buried his face in his hands.

"Yeo?" Hongjoong asked again.

"Hongjoong I think I fucked up." Yeosang said in a muffled voice.

Hongjoong walked into the room and sat down on the bed, right in front of Yeosang, "wanna talk about it?"

Yeosang sighed and lifted his head, "I may or may not have told my one and only friend that I would date him if I could last night"

"Oh" Hongjoong's mouth made an 'O' shape as he heard what Yeosang was worried about. "What did he reply?"

"He didn't."

"Hmmm" Hongjoong hummed while thinking, "do you have any idea if there's a chance he feels the same?"

"No idea" Yeosang started "but I don't really think he's interested"

"Well you can't know for sure" Hongjoong said, "I say you go take a shower, maybe get breakfast and then try to message him about it. Better not hold it off for too long"

Yeosang nodded. Hongjoong was right. He always was.

Yeosang got out of the shower, putting on grey sweatpants and a simple black t-shirt that was way too large for him.

He was on his way to the kitchen to get a glass of water to go with his painkillers when he heard a knock on the door.

He waited for Hongjoong to come open the door, but seeing that he wasn't coming, Yeosang decided to open it himself.

He quickly swallowed his pill and headed to the door.

He opened the door, not checking who was there before opening, and as his eyes landed on the person that was standing right in front of him, he completely froze.

Choi Jongho. In the flesh.

What the hell is going on
